Grand CanyonSou Kaibab Trail Rehabilitation Project: Rehabilitate the Historic Trans-Canyon Trail Project overview: The rehabilitation of the South Kaibab Trail is being done to significantly improve the condition of the trail for both hikers and stock users. This multi-million dollar reconstruction effort will include resurfacing of the trail; rebuilding steps; stabilizing and performing preventative maintenance to existing retaining walls; replacing retaining walls that have been lost to floods, slides or erosion; and repairing and aligning existing water features. A majority of the work that will be conducted on the South Kaibab Trail is repair and replacement of stonework that is historically significant and requires master-level masonry skills and a background in historic preservation of masonry structures. Recovery Act funds will make it possible to extend employment of the young men and women that have the skill level needed to adequately perform this work. Partners: American Conservation Experience (ACE) and Coconino Rural Environmental Corps (CREC).
